Juventus is actively working to secure talented young player Kenan Yildiz with a new contract, aiming to continue negotiations throughout EURO 2024 to prevent any potential delays or disruptions, as reported by sources in Italy.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus is keen to finalize Yildiz’s new contract before he attracts significant interest from other European clubs. There is anticipation that a strong showing in Vincenzo Montella’s Turkish team during the tournament could elevate Yildiz’s profile across the continent.

In details emerging from the contract talks, Yildiz joined Juventus from Bayern Munich on a free transfer in the summer of 2025, committing initially to a five-year deal with a possible extension until the summer of 2028. La Gazzetta reports that Juventus is prepared to offer Yildiz an additional year, extending his contract until the summer of 2029.

Crucially, the 19-year-old is poised for a substantial salary increase, with his current earnings of approximately €250,000 to €300,000 per year set to be significantly augmented to reflect his growing importance as a key member of the first team.

Furthermore, there are rumors suggesting Yildiz could inherit Juventus’ prestigious No. 10 jersey in the future, contingent on the resolution of issues involving its current wearer, Paul Pogba.
